Sex Ed 101

When's the last time we heard a good old "practice safe sex" song? "Let's Talk About Sex" by Salt-N-Pepa (if you don't know them I really feel old) is the only one that comes to mind. This song was popular in the 90's when America was trying to censor sex in the media. Talking about sex shouldn't be taboo especially now where you see the media constantly selling sex (I'm talking about you pop singing sensations).

This post isn't your mother's "birds and the bees" talk about sex. This is about facts and not feelings.

Body Rock here I come!

Being a stay-at-home mom does pose some challenges as far as getting the work-out I was used to prior to getting pregnant. I gained 50 lbs. during the pregnancy. I'm fortunate that breastfeeding shed 65 lbs. off me but it left my muscles really soft too. So I'm in the search for a great at-home workout. I think the best one for me right now is Body Rock TV because:

1. It's free
2. It's high-intensity workouts so they are all under 15 min.
3. You can do them at home with little to no equipment if you get creative

They have been doing 30-day challenges so after the Spring break I'll pony up to the challenge. I need time for the gear to come in anyway. What's your exercise regimen?

Fashion Fridays: Simple Bohemian Style

The one factor that is resonating amongst all the designers this spring is color! Color has invaded all the runways for this Spring's style watch. The era of inspiration is the 1970s: think wide leg pants and maxi dresses. With the maxi dress comes full length skirts that can instantly turn your look into Bohemian chic. The Bohemian style is very laid back and comfort is key. The great thing about this style is that it transitions well from day to night.

For work, avoid jersey material please! It clings to every inch of your body. The maxi dress above  will work for any body type and is made out of cotton - breathable is good and in line with the Bohemian lifestyle of comfort. The empire waist flows out nicely from your hips down highlighting its lightweight style. It hits mid calf so everybody can see your shoe candy. Ground yourself with a neutral shoe. Accessorize with jewelry that moves like bangles, hoop earrings, and layered necklaces.

For night, simply swap out your blazer for a leather or imitation leather jacket. But even the blazer would be great for night.

Just want a hint of the trend? Wear layers of jewelry (i.e. stack your rings, stack your bracelets) that evokes the Bohemian style with jeans and a plain top.
